Summary
He was Zaid bin Muhalhil bin Munhab bin Abd Radha, earlier known as Zaid al-Khail (owner of horses). The Prophet named him Zaid al-Khair right after he embraced Islam. He travelled to Medina with the leaders of his people, heard the Prophet's speech at the Prophet's Mosque and declared the testimony of faith before the Muslims. His companions also accepted Islam, and he died on the journey home to Najd.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Nama Zaid al-Khair (Zaid yang baik) diberi oleh Rasulullah SAW sejurus selepas keislamannya.
